In contrast to the other commenters, fuck FFXIV. I tried it twice and it's just.. annoying. Maybe because I was already annoyed with MMOs in general by then.
You should still try it yourself eventually, but it's really bleh for me.

To be honest, most f2p MMOs don't work as a f2player. You have to end up paying or it becomes stressful.

Anyway, i don't recommend them, but they felt the least annoying the longest. Star Trek Online and Neverwinter (grindy as hell or expensive pay2unlock), Guild Wars 2 (needs buying the first two expansions to unlock permanent mounts and character specializations) and if you're brave enough to go the private servers route, try searching for private, yet somewhat reputable servers of games you think might've been nice like Wildstar..

As i recall, cats partially communicate through scent, so in my mind right now a fart would be like someone's Tourette syndrome expressing itself through sign language.

Well, it has joystick support... So there's that.

There doesn't seem to be anything native, but running it through steam can make use of its controller support for most keys.

Default though, the game is built for a keyboard experience.

Far as I recall, the electric vehicle's cameras were (perhaps illegally) used against the protesters for surveillance and identification purposes.

Read or write. Writing provides material to amaze for future sessions.

Sex was excluded from the theme and my thought was using that consideration.

[–] lath@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Keep in mind that sexual intent isn't a consideration.

I'd say that if you think of romance as something ephemeral or fleeting and of friendship as something grounded or permanent, then the two states can be reversed or interchangeable.

Then romance could be seen as chasing dreams while friendship pursues realism?

However we should also consider intent. Romantic feeling towards someone elevates them beyond the ordinary. It becomes a pursuit that gives out a part of oneself, in excess one might say. On the other hand, in order for friendship to reach that level of commitment or even higher, it's inevitable to pass through a stage of romantic idealization in the literary sense of the other person's attributes.

Complete intimacy means being a part of another's life and they being a part of yours. And to fully trust another in every aspect is something that can only be achieved through the idealistic view of romance.

If we were to joke about it... They don't call the intense, almost homoerotic friendship between men a bromance for nothing after all.

Friendship - separate lives with limited involvement.

Romantic - shared life, fully involved.

Hey, who knew there'd be more than one possiblity? It's great to have options!

It was the reverse for me. Went through a few Cataclysm versions (e, f, g), each with their own style, and Zomboid was mentioned by other players from time to time. Someone gave me an earlier GOG version to try and it's interesting to go through both similarities and differences.

If you do end up playing Cataclysm eventually, maybe try the different graphical tilesets available. Each style can make the game feel better or worse, subjectively. Also, I mostly used the keyboard while playing. Honestly, don't even remember if you can play with a mouse anyway...

Well, I did think of sex stuff when making the comment... But authoritarian identification and monitoring systems also fit.

His dick's out, of course he's happy. The drawing practically screams "I just had sex!".
